HOBOKEN BUSINESS ALLIANCE LAUNCHES WINDOW DECORATING CONTEST TO SHOWCASE LOCAL HOBOKEN BUSINESSES DURING THE HOLIDAYS
HOBOKEN, N.J., (December 2, 2020) – Today, the Hoboken Business Alliance (HBA) launched its holiday window decorating contest, “Window into Hoboken,” to showcase and support local Hoboken businesses. Storefront windows throughout the Mile Square will be creatively decorated this holiday season as business owners have a chance to win $1,000 prizes or a $2,000 grand prize. Residents and visitors are encouraged to explore the “Window into Hoboken” displays and share their favorites on social media for a chance to win prizes, too, including two top prizes provided by the W Hoboken.
“It’s no doubt that the holidays are going to feel different this year, so it’s important to bring joy to the community and continue to support local businesses any way we can,” shares Gregory Dell’Aquila, President of the Hoboken Business Alliance. “Through this contest, we’re able to shine a light on all the wonderful businesses lining the streets of Hoboken and bring attention and hopefully more customers to their storefronts.”
People’s Choice Award: Encouraging Everyone to Spotlight Local Businesses
From now until December 20, 2020, every photo posted on Facebook or Instagram showcasing the window display of a local Hoboken business is an entry for a chance for residents and visitors to win prizes and a vote for the tagged local business as part of the People’s Choice Award. Prizes include 20 $100 gift cards, or one of two top prizes and a Swag Bag: a dinner for two at Halifax restaurant in the W Hoboken, or a two-night “Spectacular Room” accommodation at W Hoboken.
